~Journal Entry~

I just experienced the scariest thing of my life, I think! This evening I went to my boyfriend's house in Elk Horn for supper, and when I was coming home there were flashing lights. I turned in the direction of the lights since I wondered what was going on. When I came to the flashing lights, I saw two cop cars and a red car with its drivers door and passenger door open. Next to one of the cop cars there stood the two cops and one guy. The guy had a big bushy beard, a baseball cap, a big coat, and baggy jeans. The cops were waving their flashlights up and down the guys body and inside and out of his pockets. I called my boyfriend right away! The thoughts that went through my mind were that this situation had to do with drugs. My boyfriend and his oldest sister drove by but the cops had left the scene. There was a tow truck there to tow the guys' car. I may never know what went on, but I will always have an idea in my mind.

What I Want

What I want is
Enough acceptance

To be who I am
What I want is

Nobody to judge
Me from what they

Hear or By
Their first impression

Parents Teens
Or even coaches

Who are they
To say or

Accuse me
Of little things

I can't control
To them I

Am an easy
Target to

Point their finger
At when they

Have no other answer

Sonnet
Risk
By Jordan Franken


Scared heart of mine please beware
For I cannot hide the fear inside
Tears shed from my eyes don't dare
Hurt go away please trouble reside

My scared heart pleads to share
The love inside wants to show you care
Please lets talk lest be fair
Sleepless nights make temperament of bear

Communication is what it takes
Without it relationships fail or break
We have what it takes the feelings aren't fake
So what do you say no more heartache

Scared heart its okay let love in
A new chapter of life is ready to begin!
